Thanks Steve. I'm guessing you bought the pre-boxed DS18S20 ("TAI8520") sensors from AAG for $20 a pop, then? That makes things a lot easier in terms of cabling. Jerry: >> First some general comments: I would definitely use +5 power and >> simultaneous reads. For me it's about making the contr

Ryan, Some comments from the peanut gallery. I've built a few large setups, data/colo, networking and video production. I never counted racks, so I guess that means they had a bunch. For us everything was driven of mean power per volume. Everything else came and went, but changing that took s

Our sensor network is two separate runs off of a (http://www.aag.com.mx) TAI8595 hub. One run goes around the ceiling and to the air handler sensors. We have sensors in each quadrant of the room, and a humidity/temp sensor in the center. We placed our sensors in the center of each quadrant of t

Steve, I've done a bit of research on this. I have a setup that will have in the order of 70 sensors across 3 buses. My sensors aren't as orderly as you will be. As a preface, the 1-wire sensors are cheap, but the communications design is weak IMO. It is not resilient or noise immune in the

BTW: I just checked out a new version of ewrt, and version.h is created when you start make in the directory ewrt-0.3/src. (Compilation of the kernel is made first of all during config/depend it's created) I'm sure you are in trouble if version.h doesn't exist in your ewrt directory after running

Steve, Do you use 1-wire sensors and OWFS for your server-room monitoring? If so, that would be the largest implementation of OWFS that I know of. Your experiences would be quite interesting. Paul Alfille -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stev
